I now have 12,700 miles on the front tire and it shows little wear. The new tire had 7mm of tread, it now has 5mm of tread remaining. In 12,700 miles of varied road, I have used only 2mm of tread. That's approximately 1/8th inch of tread used in 12,700 miles. I fully expect to get over 20k safe miles on this tire. The tire tracks true, with softer ride and reacts well on wet pavement and in high winds. Can't recommend this tire more. Good luck, safe riding. |
| 3 years with this gas sucking sail have not liked from the start scratches like all the other shields and flops in the wind thinner than stock so clamp dosen't hold in place very good had all i can stand going to a tulsa |
| I bought these boots despite previous reviews on this site. Other sites reviews of this product aren't so bad. So I took the plunge and got them, and really don't have any complaints about this boot. Firm boot all around including shift pad area. I like them better than my tourmaster solution 2.0 boots. Still waiting for the rain gods to do their thing, to see how the waterproofing works after that maybe 5 stars? The soles are like the 2.0 maybe bit thicker. No issues with eyelets at this point. |

I've had mine for several years. It does help with the crosswinds. The best features of this belly pan are: 1. It keeps the bottom clean!!!!!!!!!!! 2. The front detachment plate makes oil changes easy. I did put a couple of plastic bumpers on the front lip to protect the cowling. 3. It has protected the bottom of my Wing. I've had to straighten out some of the louvers. There are more scratches and dings on it than you can stick a shake at. 4. After taking it on and off a few times, the initial installation quirks are old hand. Watch out for the sharp edges. Finally, I haven't noticed any access heat on my feet. |
| My Review was posted earlier but forgot to change the start rating to 1. Please read that review and do not buy this junk. |
| I am on my second Kuryakyn Luggage rack. The first rack the Chrome bubbled and the black rubber padding fell off after about 5 years. Last year I replaced the rack. Mostly because the holes are in the trunk all ready. This spring when I was doing my annual cleaning of the Gold Wing the Chrome is starting to bubble on this rack also. Mostly summer cleaning is washing and wiping with detailer. My Gold Wing is either keep in a heated garage all winter or under the car port in summer. Many time on trips the Cycle is covered at night. The exposure to weather the Gold Wing sees is when ridding or when I take it to work. They rack are also heavy and add weight high on the Wing. After seeing my second rack starting to break down I wound not recommend this rack to any one. |
| Threw a 2.5 gallon cooler on this for a road trip. Ice melts pretty quickly with all the heat going back there. Cooler also didn't have a tight seal so only used it for sealed products. Here's the thing! At one stop I forgot to put the bungee cords back on. At the stop some 30 miles later, the cooler was still there. Later when buying replacement cords I asked my buddy how many he thought I needed. His answer: "apparently none". I have since bought a 14 gallon Rubbermaid and customized a mount to make it to fit well on the rack. Should handle 2, maybe 3, full grocery bags (not cold items). So plenty of storage. Pitfalls: must get the right size container that won't block the license plate. Catches lots of dirt (or mud) from rear tire. 5K miles and already needs fresh coat of paint. |
| HAD TO REFRESH THE FLUID OF COURSE-FACTORY IS THE WAY TO GO -SO GET SOME TOO !! CAN'T BE BEAT------- |
| I had these installed on my 2013 and then headed off for the 2014 Three Flags Classic, Mexico to Canada. These should be stock on every Wing. At 5'6" with a bad back, previous neck and elbow surgery these are nothing short of being a life saver on trips of more than a couple hundred miles. |
| The unit looks great on the bike. The only problem I had was the lead wire to the fuse box was about 12" too short. I tried running the wire 2 different ways and was short on all of them. I don't know how SC could manufacture this product for a Goldwing & not give enough wire to work with. This would have been 5 star item. |
| These really do look like they came from Honda. And metal has to be better than any of the plastic ones. Install on my '08 was straight-forward and fairly easy. The fit is good, with minimal tweaking to get all the holes to line up. With the ring of fire on them, they're the berries! |

This piece looks so much better than the factory gray one. It is a direct replacement, mine fits as good as my original one does. It appears that it will be more important than ever to keep it clean though. It's so shiny you'll really be able to see all the dirt! |
